I have a hard time to find a good yet cheap alternative to Freshbooks that supports canadian taxes. So i think there's still a sweet spot for the Invoicing web apps that can support these kinds of edge cases. By the way middayc, your app seems nice. I think you're right to show it early even if it's still not perfect. One thing about the login validation : http://grab.by/4yIb http://grab.by/4yIb . I got "Wrong input" error when my password was wrong. I think it would be better like "Invalid Email or Password".

One of initial beta testers is from Canada and I already promissed him version that will be adapted to Canada. From my understanding you have 2 levels of taxes (compounding?) and they must both be visible on invoice.

  Yes. Although i don't know for other provinces, in Quebec we have the GST (5%) and the QST (7.5%). Here's how we calculate it: total = 100$ GST = (total0.05) QST = (total+GST)0.075 Grand Total = total+GST+QST For the other provinces i think it depends but instead of QST they have an HST tax. But for your app i think it would be the same algorithm to support all provinces (someone please let me know if i'm wrong).

    Thanks a LOT. Would you be interested in being a beta tester when I make the Canadian version?

      Yes of course. You can send it to me via the contact form linked in my profile :)

      In case the formula was not clear, i replaced the stars with x instead (HN use stars for italization and i can't edit my previous post): total = 100$ GST = (total x 0.05) QST = (total+GST) x 0.075 Grand Total = total+GST+QST More infos : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sales_taxes_in_Canada http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sales_taxes_in_Canada
